Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Much is posted here about vacuum innovations both real/hyped [i.e. halo].  This current decade has produced advancements in technology [filtrete paper bags] and innovations in the vacuum industry:  i.e. robotic vacuum sweepers, bagless vacuums, steerable vacuums with ball wheels, and a MIELE upright.   I'm sure there are others worthy of mention too.

Question:  What is the next most wanted/needed vacuum innovation/feature?  I say it's a cordless vacuum with a decent run time and the cleaning power of a full size.  There are some decent attempts along the way:  Westinghouse, TTI/HOOVER.  What do others think?

Back in the heyday for Canisters, when wall to wall carpet was no more than 1/2" deep, several brands had very good performance with straight suction nozzles, Filter Queen, Compact, Airway and Rexair heading the list. Once power nozzles came into existence, straight suction technology was pretty much abandoned for carpet cleaning. We won't know what could be done to improve straight airflow cleaning until we attempt it. Look on YouTube for a video entitled "When is a vacuum cleaner not a vacuum cleaner?" The unit depicted is supposed to be based on something new: A.R.C.-Air Recycling Technology. Also check out www.scabel.com for in the works technology and www.everythingusb.com for a keyboard vac that plugs into a usb port.
